HOT! (Etheree)

Day
Saturday
April 3, 
Sun is scorching!
The birds are silent
Not a cloud in the sky
Nor a gentle breeze blowing
It is unseasonably      HOT!
The weatherman promises melt
Guess what I’ll ask God to do for Easter?...

Rain

Rain is needed as we enter the outer limits of October
And  sunny California is unseasonably very warm
It’s very dry as we approach the entry way to November

On a hot spring afternoon, a wet postman
Hurries down the sidewalk home.
I catch him stepping on a new white iris,
And were I not alone, I would but
Scold him, but I would not, instead,
I wouldst hand him a cold coke for his dripping head,
Then pat him on his shoulder and pick up a dropped letter,
On this unseasonably hot afternoon....

He Wears a Blue Hot Uniform
On this unseasonably July hot afternoon,
The wet postman with weary steps, trods down the sidewalk home.
An ill-clad lady caught him crushing her lingering white flowers,

Scold him, but, instead,
She wouldst hand him a cold cloth and water for his dripping head,
Pat him on his shoulder, pick up a a dirty dropped letter,
And then retreat into her air-conditioning.

cloudy beach day
unseasonably cool
the most popular girl in high school is holding my hand
my eyes discovered her on arrival day
so surprised she remembered me
her smile told a story that made me hard
i did not ask questions
an autograph from her is the pleasure of her company
listening to the waves crash
forgetting regrets and unwise decisions
soon we will have to go back to the lives that we chose to create
however and right now, this moment is for us to live our dream.....for once...
